Section 2 - Stripe Hog Systems
Packing lubrication and cooling water is drained
from the high pressure pump by a bilge pump
drain system. The system is completely automatic
and activated whenever the water blasting elec-
trical system is activated. A fuse in the outside
terminal box protects the bilge pump circuit from
an overload.
Water drains from the UHP pump cooling water
sump (bilge) by gravity to a sump box equipped
with an automatic switch that is connected to the
bilge pump. When the water level in the sump box
raises enough to activate the automatic switch,
the bilge pump is activated and pumps the water
from the sump box to the debris tank. When the
water level in the sump box is lowered, the switch
will turn the pump off.
The sump automatic switch and inside of the sump
box are accessed by removing the sump box lid.
It is important to periodically remove the lid to
inspect the switch and clean out accumulated
debris that can restrict water flow to the pump.
Information and owner’s manuals for the bilge
drain system components are included with this
manual. Refer to this information for additional
operation and service data.
The following bilge pump system compo
-
nents should be inspected daily or at the
start of each shift:
• Inspect the cooling water sump (bilge) in the
UHP pump. Clean any debris that may restrict
drainage to the bilge pump system.
• Inspect the drain hoses and sump system for
loose fittings.
• Monitor the operation of the bilge pump sys
-
tem at the start of each shift to make sure
the pump and automatic switch are working
properly.
NOTICE:
IT IS IMPORTANT TO PERIODICALLY INSPECT THE BILGE
BOX AND REMOVE ANY DEBRIS OR CONTAMINANTS THAT
MAY HINDER THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AUTOMATIC
SWITCH. YOU SHOULD USE WATER BASED GREASE
SOLVENT TO CUT ANY OIL THAT ACCUMULATES IN THE
BILGE BOX.
